Designed to “improve the construction process, build quality, health & safety and to establish more efficient methods of working together”, Arc-Tech is one of only two companies in Scotland identified as an M&E Category 1 Sub-Contractor and will be able to undertake contracts from £500k up to £10m in value.

John Gallacher, Arc-Tech managing director, said: “This is a proud moment for our company. To be recognised as a Category 1 Sub-Contractor with BAM is a fantastic achievement and a testament to the work of our dedicated staff.

“We have worked with BAM for a number of years now having successfully delivered the Elgin and Appin Ward, a new acute mental health facility at Stobhill Hospital in Glasgow and the new Clydebank Health & Care Centre in West Dunbartonshire as well as three live contracts that comprise the extension of two additional support needs schools in West Lothian and the upgrade of Perth City Halls.

“Our placing as a Tier 1 Sub-Contractor will continue to foster a positive and collaborative working relationship, enabling the very highest standards of workmanship and service within the Scottish construction sector. We look forward to working with BAM for many years to come.”
